Thanks Dennis, for straightening me out on that. 

Strangely I get a different answer using nslookup:

In any case, since updates occur at four hour intervals and checks are normally 
limited to once an hour, a ttl of 30 minutes should be OK for most. I can see 
where it might be a factor for those that find a need to check at the maximum 
limit of four times per hour using a country coded freshclam.conf.
